Issue with subversion authentication

Hi,

I'm having issues with SVN authenticating my users against my users file.
SVN was working yesterday morning, I then created a new user account on the
SVN server and created a new SVN user using the htpasswd command. Since
then my subversion is no longer authenticating my users from the users
file. In TortoiseSVN I am getting this error:
"Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https:...' OPTIONS of
'https:...': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server:
rejected Basic challenge"

I have tried removing the new user using the htpasswd -D command but that
hasn't fied the problem with the authentication. If I comment out 'AuthType
Basic' then anonymous access is available, but when I commit repos in
TortoiseSVN it completes with this error:
"post-commit hook failed (exit code 1) with output:
svn: warning: Can't open file '/etc/subversion/servers': Permission denied
Authentication realm: 10830e04-d36d-4252-bd61-a1eee9982873
Username: svn: Can't read stdin: End of file found"

Please can you tell me where I'm going wrong and how to fix this issue?
